Item Description
South Africa, Scott 255, 1961 1c Coral Tree Flower verical pair tied by large bilingual OLD POST OFFICE TREE / MOSSELBAAI/BAY cancel with 20 XII 63 date, unaddressed, unsealed flap. First day of new postmark. Until an official South African postal service was inauguarated in 1863, "Post Office Stones" served as posting centers for mariners in the 17th Century. Letters were collected and delivered by homebound sailors. One of these best known landmarks is the centuries old Post Office Tree at Mossel Bay. For over 400 years sailors left their letters in the tree to be delivered by seamen travelling to various destinations. The large Milkwood Tree has now been declared a National Monument. Letters still collected from the unusual letter box are cancelled "Old Post Office Tree". Powered by Hip Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
